The operating return on assets (operating ROA) of The Cooper Companies, Inc. Common Stock has fluctuated over the past several quarters. The trend indicates some variability in the company's efficiency in generating profits from its assets.

The operating ROA has ranged from a low of 3.74% in January 2021 to a high of 8.35% in January 2020. This variability suggests that the company's operational efficiency and asset utilization have not been consistent over the period analyzed.

The most recent operating ROA of 5.73% as of October 2024 is slightly higher than the average for the period, indicating a relatively strong performance in generating earnings from its assets.
